The “Big Canoe” migrated to her winter berth on Monday Oct 21. Her last ferry sailing between the top of the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island was the day before. The public was invited on board for the sailing, which included a bus ride from Owen Sound to Tobermory and a fabulous meal on board. The day was sunny, warm and very little wind; in one word fabulous. Below are some views from the trip.Loading the bus in Owen Sound in the morning.
